The Russian sterotype (in-depth, for both male and female)?

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

I had a Russian boyfriend a few years ago. He was very stereotypically Russian in that he loved to drink and had a total disregard for authority/responsibility (I'm making him sound quite a catch I know). Having said that, he was a very generous person and surprisingly chivalrous and traditional on the whole dating scene.

Despite having a reasonable salary, my ex was not interested in his appearance, notably he had no qualms wearing the same clothes for days in a row. I'm not suggesting all Russians are unhygienic (the women often dress up to the nines) but their fashion is on the hole, slightly "retrospective"... The men seem particularly fond of wearing y-fronts unfortunately.

Like a lot of Polish people I've met, Russians are very matter of fact but this is pretty refreshing to be honest.
